Frequently asked questions, answered.
General Questions
How will my audience schedule meetings if I use Appointlet?
Appointlet provides business professionals like you with an interface to create and configure booking pages. When you're ready, share that link with your audience to start receiving bookings. People will use the booking page to schedule time and fill out forms with any information you'd like to collect.
What will the booking page look like when I share it with others?
We offer a demo booking page that you can review, to get a better sense of how it will look for your audience. These pages are customized based on your brand logo, meeting types, availability, and more.
What happens once someone books a meeting with us?
Bookings will spawn new events in your Appointlet Meetings dashboard along with your email calendar. You will receive an email confirmation with the booking data. Your attendees similarly receive email notification and if their email address supports it, an auto-generated email calendar event with the meeting details.
I don't have an Office 365 Business or Google account. Can I still use Appointlet?
Yes, you can use Appointlet without an email calendar, though we recommend connecting one if possible. You'll get more value from our app when you do so.
Does Appointlet offer a mobile app or browser extensions?
We do offer a chrome extension and firefox extension. Our team is currently developing a mobile application. That being said, your booking page will be fully mobile responsive, so attendees can easily book time from their mobile device. They will not need an account with Appointlet to do so.
Where can I read the terms and conditions of Appointlet?
You can find our terms and conditions outlined here.
If I want to cancel my subscription after signing up, how will I do that?
You can cancel your subscription at any time. To view our refund policy, please see the terms and conditions page.
Support
Where can I go if I have questions?
We offer live chat support during business hours Monday through Friday. Depending on our support load, response times can be anywhere from 3 minutes to a couple of hours. We also send a series of emails when you first sign up. You can reply to those emails to contact us directly.
Do you offer live demos to walk me through the app?
We do offer a video tutorial that will walk you through the basics of setting up an Appointlet account, however at this time we do not offer live sales demos.
Do you offer phone support?
We provide text support during business hours but we do not offer phone support.
Booking Page Configuration
How do I prevent people from scheduling and not showing up?
Appointlet provides confirmation emails and calendar events to you and your attendees whenever a booking is registered. You also have the option of scheduling email reminders go out prior to the meeting. Check out our Zapier integration to set up SMS reminders for attendees that are best reached via text message.
Can I schedule groups or classes (multiple attendees at the same time with a single host)?
Yes, we support the option to schedule group meetings with multiple attendees. These are a great option for scheduling classes, group training, and more.
Will appointlet prevent double bookings?
Yes, if a member of your team is booked during a time period, attendees cannot book separate meetings at the same time.
Is it easy to cancel or reschedule meetings if needed?
We do provide cancelation and rescheduling tools in your dashboard, on your email calendar event details, and in your email calendars. So it's always easy to access and take action as needed.
Can I create custom forms to collect info from people when they book a meeting?
Yes, forms can be customized to collect anything from short responses (email, name, phone number) to long form responses like a short paragraph. We also offer multiple choice options. Whatever you need to know prior to the meeting, you can capture it with Appointlet's forms.
How far in advance can people schedule a meeting?
That's entirely up to you. We give you control over the minimum and maximum required notice for a given meeting type.
Can I schedule breaks between meetings?
Yes, you have the option of hardcoding breaks before and/or after a meeting, so you always have time between meetings to transition.
My schedule changes weekly. Will Appointlet be able to support that?
Absolutely! You can create a custom schedule based on your precise availability.
Is it possible to schedule recurring meetings?
We don't currently support recurring meetings, but it's a feature that we're interested in building in the future. If this is an important feature for you, please contact us and let us know what your use case is. We're currently gathering information to learn more about what users need.
What happens If I delete or move events in my email calendar?
We don't recommend manually moving or deleting events in your email calendar. Since this happens accidentally from time to time, we made the decision not to register changes to your meeting when a calendar event is moved. If you want to cancel or reschedule an event, we ask that you used the dedicated features for that purpose.
We have multiple physical locations. How do we handle that in Appointlet?
Locations are assigned at the meeting type level. So if you have members that can be booked at various locations, that's where you would assign them. However, if you don't want to schedule members and would prefer people book entire locations, as in a rental, there are workaround available for that. You can read more about the technical configuration details here.
Can we redirect to another website after the booking is complete?
We do offer post-booking redirects to another website. This is located on the meeting type, which means that each meeting type can be directed to a specific location after the attendee completes their booking.
